seems to me that the ideal solution would be to allow an email field in auth_user to contain something other than email (for example, a phone number). but besides that I am not sure how to relax this requirement on the email field in auth_user, this solution seems to be politically incorrect, as this field is really expected to be an email (i.e. in a way how auth functions?) - so I am wondering what's the best way to make the thing to alternate between an email and a phone number for users as a unique account identifier... greatly appreciate ideas... hope there is a simple and easy way to achieve this...
